Matt Stover: Excelling Under Pressure

This week Andrew is joined by 2x Super Bowl Champion Matt Stover. One of the all-time great place kickers in NFL history, Matt retired after the 2009 season as the NFL’s fourth all-time leading scorer. Andrew and Matt explore the mindsets, routines, and processes that made Matt an all-time great in one of the highest-pressure jobs in sports.  This conversation is filled with important lessons, whether you are a football fan or not. Like a lot of things in life, kicking a field goal requires extraordinary focus and attention to detail—and you have to do a lot of little things right to achieve big success. Matt even walks Andrew step-by-step through the process of kicking a field goal. You'll probably never look at a field goal the same way again.  Show highlights:2:30 - Matt's childhood3:38 - Developing a craft4:09 - Transition from high school to college5:47 - Learning to manage high-pressure situations8:15 - Step by step process of kicking a field goal9:20 - Managing your energy9:39 - Preparing for a big moment13:30 - Role of others in process14:41 - Adjusting and refining your process15:47 - Tracking progress17:07 - Overcoming failure20:12 - Team culture and leadership22:00 - Being a great teammate22:38 - Ray Lewis showing confidence in Matt24:00 - Players Philanthropy Fund26:30 - Role of relationshipsBe sure to subscribe & leave a review for the show in your favorite podcast app.Follow Andrew on Twitter:@andrewhmoses and IG: @AndrewMoses123Sign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter!Please tell your friends about Everybody Pulls The Tarp on social media and be sure to tag Andrew in your posts @andrewmoses123 (Instagram) and @andrewHmoses (Twitter).
